ABOUT ME
I am a thoughtful person eager to understand the social and political mechanisms of space. My passion is geography and I love running the world on horseback. People may think I am far more mature than the average 20-year-old women - either they find it scary, or they like it. Having deep conversations is what I look for in any kind of relationship. Superficial and lazy are all that I am not!
PHILOSOPHY
You'll become brave provided you act bravely.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm quite homeless now, so surfing currently is my "natural state"... So will be hosting when I am physically and mentally settled.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Two wonderful American ones.
Interests
I may find an interest in everything I discover. But here are some of my main focus:
Geography
Politics
History (French 19th century and African American history, mostly)
Philosophy (Marxism)
Theoretical reflection and epistemology (of my science, geography, and of trans-disciplinary concepts in general)
Native American communities
Horses and horse-therapy
Outdoor and some indoor sports
Cuisines (and eating)

Music, Movies, and Books
Way too many. These are topics I would like to discuss with you though, if you give me the chance. I am a very literary person and a musician, and always try to broaden the scope of my discoveries and interests.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Road-tripping in Ireland with a rock band I love for three days, among which my birthday.
Seeing musk-ox and other wild animals from horseback in Norwegian mountains.
Cantering near wild ponies on hill bushy green slopes in Wales, again.
Discovering geography and moving away from my parents, and then from Paris, to the Alps.
Organizing a rap music night for the French club of the American college where I taught.
Remembering all these...
